Agents of SHIELD Producer Addresses Renewal Prospects

After premiering in 2013 to an impressive 11.9 million viewers and a 4.6 rating among adults 18-49, the ABC drama has been lucky to maintain 2 million live viewers weekly. That, naturally, had led many to wonder whether the series will return following its Season Four finale.

It seems unlikely that ABC will make an announcement before network upfront presentations in May, but that didn’t stop one fan from seeking some early news. Responding to a viewer’s question on Entertainment Weekly about a potential renewal, co-showrunner Jed Whedon revealed there’s no word just yet. However, the show’s writers are working on a season, not series, finale.

“We are going to make it a thrilling end regardless,” he said, “but we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.”

A decision regarding the show’s fate should be revealed by May 16, when ABC takes the stage at the annual television upfronts.
